€�Modernizing the electric grid will not only help us meet current challenges in demand, efficiency, and costs to customers, but will also set New York up as a leader in smart energy practices for years to come.” “This program represents a critical component in the The funding, which is available through a competitive process, is being administered by NYSERDA under its Electric Power Transmission and Distribution Smart Grid Program. This is especially true with dealing with grid efficiency and the integration of variable power supplies from solar and wind. Black & Veatch released Meeting environmental concerns was the top budget item for 22 percent, while only 14 percent said they're looking at energy efficiency, smart grid and renewables as key investment areas, a figure that's down from 17 percent in 2012. As we make the transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy sources, one fact that becomes clear is that while fossil fuels provided both an energy source and a storage medium in one, in the new world of renewables, these synergy in deliberately and carefully designed systems containing such elements as: distributed renewable power sources, flexible baseload infrastructure, a smart grid, demand response and rapid response energy storage systems. Power Line Energy Distribution Further complicating the matter, any distributed For example, a CUDA Research Center at the University of Toledo will use GPU-based, high- performance computing to study the reliability of power grids, including an analysis of smart grid and renewable energy systems. Smart grid technologies could contribute to greenhouse gas emission reductions by increasing efficiency and conservation, facilitating renewable energy integration, and enabling plug-in electric vehicles. Utilities this year is strong, expensive, and unpredictable, with a chance of regulatory and business confusion. Renewable From generating savings for consumer and utilities alike, enabling renewable energy distribution and increasing network efficiency, smart grids promise the greatest changes – and greatest benefits – to power supply since the first grids switched on in the 1880s. A recent book, Smart Grid: Integrating Renewable, Distributed, and Efficient Energy, edited by Sioshansi, explores the many dimensions of the smart grid . Because the smart grid is capable of integrating renewable energy, the number of power sources being used within the grid will increase, helping to reduce demand for fossil fuels. Most of the system planners believe- Intelligently planned smart grid and smart meter systems that integrate energy efficiency and conservation as central goals will have a great potential to reap system-wide benefits. The Smart Grid and Its Adding variable generators such as rooftop solar or micro wind (small wind turbines able to be mounted on a residential rooftop) makes managing distributed generation even more difficult for the existing grid. The outlook for renewable energy growth and smart grid integration for U.S.
